Pricing

It's free. All of it.

Every feature RunWhatIfs has is free to use — the What-if studio, the dashboard, the money journal, the imports, the exports. No paid tier, no trial clock, no card asked for anywhere.

The honest answers

How is RunWhatIfs free?
Because it's small and runs cheap — and because the usual ways a free finance app pays for itself are permanently off the table here: no ads, no selling or sharing your data, no bank credentials to monetize. Right now the app costs little enough to run that it simply doesn't need to charge.
Will there ever be a paid tier?
Maybe, eventually — if enough people use RunWhatIfs that it stops being cheap to run, or if there's real demand for depth beyond what the app does today. There is nothing to buy at the moment, and no card is asked for anywhere. If that ever changes, it will be said plainly here first, and the things below stay free regardless.
What stays free no matter what?
Your way out, above all: the JSON export of everything you've entered stays free forever — your data is never held hostage behind a paywall. The monthly check-in habit stays free too: it's the whole point of the product, and it will never cost money to keep it up.
